Michael Heslin has died suddenly at the age of 30 as his husband reveals he suffered from an ‘unexpected cardiac event’.
The 30-year-old actor’s husband, Scotty Dynamo, took to Instagram to reveal that he died on July 2nd after a ‘week-long battle in hospital’.
The actor, who was best known for Taylor Sheridan’s action-drama Lioness as well as The Holiday Proposal Plan, was said to be in perfect health when he died.
‘On July 2nd, my husband, best friend, and soulmate @mikeheslin passed away from an unexpected cardiac event after a week-long battle in the hospital.
‘Michael was young, in perfect health, and the doctors have no explanation for what happened,’ said Scotty – real name Nicolas James Wilson – on Instagram.
‘Michael was brilliant, selfless, talented, and a real-life guardian angel. He single-handedly carried me through multiple rounds of cancer. He was the first person everyone would call to share good news with, and he was the perfect person to call if they needed a shoulder to lean on or the best advice.
‘He truly was the sweetest, most caring, and loving man on earth, and he brought out the absolute best in everyone who had the pleasure to cross paths with him.’
The actor was also known for his work on The Influencers on Amazon Prime, and he and his husband had a shared TikTok account called Mike and Scotty with 115,600 followers that documented their lives together and pranks they played on one another.
In the heartbreaking tribute, Scotty then revealed that they had been discussing becoming parents and had even spoken about names for their children.
‘Just a week ago, we were in the early stages of starting a family and would regularly share our favorite baby names for our future kids. You always told me that you felt like you were meant to be a dad, and I couldn’t agree more.
‘You would be the world’s most perfect father. If I ever become a dad, I am going to name my son after you and hope that I manage to raise him to become at least half the man you are.’
The tribute ended by revealing that Heslin was a donor and his death had meant donations to four different families.
‘It brings me peace to know that, through your wish to be a donor, you have given the gift of life to four different families. We are 3 weeks away from your birthday and 4 months shy of our 1 year wedding anniversary, but I know that you are in a better place and that heaven has gained another angel.’
